I don't normally advocate tightening up any of our gear Smokey . . . but I had similar problems to you with the head unscrewing every time I filled my Nova's up. I've found that by screwing it down just that wee bit more firmly has cured that. Interestingly it's a not a problem I've had with any of the ones with a viewing window as the top cap seems to sit that bit higher up. Yes I will try tightening the coil head up a bit more and that may do the trick. I had read somewhere that you should avoid overtightening them as it would cause a short, but I have been told that my Lavatube is protected against shorts - so I'll give it a go! |

I have been vaping for just over a month. A week ago I bought a Vivi Nova tank (the big one not the Mini). Juice is leaking out of the screw connector on the Nova tank into my LT. I have just figured out why. When I unscrew the tank top (to refuel) the underside of the (metal) top piece grips the silicone cap on the replaceable coil and unscrews it so it is no longer a 'watertight' fit on the central tube. Juice can now leak down the central tube and into my LT..... Replacing the cap after refueling unfortunately does not reverse the process adequately but leaves the coil head still loose on the pillar.
I suppose I could carry a pair of tweezers and tighten up the coil head every time I remove the top, but I wondered if any experienced users know of an alternative fix?
Could anyone recommend an alternative tank to the Vivi Nova (ideally with replaceable coils)? I have had juice seeping out of the join between the tank body and base also - so I'm a little unimpressed with the Nova at present! My vaping device is a stainless steel mini Lavatube (from Apollo) with a 510 thread and I have an egothread adapter for it too. At the moment I've gone back to a 'CE4 Clearomiser' which gives less vapour and taste but does not leak....
I would be grateful for your thoughts/opinions.

I came across these whilst browsing: www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=186They seem to be hand-made pipes and are a completely mechanical mod with a stainless steel button and a copper contact.... ETA: errr sorry.... not cheap.... |

Just dropped in to say hello. After having been an analogue user for about 30 years I have just completed my first month without fags! I started off with a disposable ecig, and have now 'graduated' to a stainless steel V-Tube (I think its also called a Lavatube) and a Vivi Nova tank. I'm really enjoying the improved taste and vapour it produces.... yummy Right now I cannot imagine going back to tobacco - rollups are really boring compared to the Amazing Shiny Things that are available to the vaper  , and then there are coils, wicks, and lots and lots of stuff to get to understand. I even had a look at Ohm's Law earlier....clearly there is a lot to learn and get involved with. I'm amazed that vaping seems to have such a low profile generally! I look forward to learning a lot from the many knowledgeable people who use this site, and wishing you all a peaceful and enjoyable vape this Easter! |
